But it was the party's vitriolic response to a subsequent appearance on Fox News that pushed her rightward, she said on "Piers Morgan Uncensored."

I always find it strange when people change their political beliefs based on interpersonal squabbles. Those two things seem totally orthogonal to me.

I saw her appearance on FOX. I think she was saying aloud what many in the Dem Party were thinking privately...The Harris Campaign raised an enormous amount of money for a candidate that did not spend it wisely and ran a bad campaign.

Or maybe she’s seeing that everything has shifted leftward and that the Trump positions are closer to the Clinton positions that brought her to the party in the 90s? Just saying…

Or.. When you start getting attacked by people that you once trusted, maybe you take a closer look at some of their positions a little more critically?

She didn’t say that. She said people were mean to her so she went rightward.

I hate Elizabeth Warren but even if she set my house on fire it wouldn’t change my views on (say) healthcare or foreign policy.
